    Applications of Exponential Functions

    Uploaded by

    Romulo Vincent Perez
    The document contains examples of using exponential functions to model population growth and drug elimination from the body. It discusses using equations of the form P=P0(1+r)t to model a population increasing at a yearly rate r and equations of the form D=D0(0.8)t to model a drug decreasing in the body at a rate of 20% per hour. Several word problems are provided applying these exponential models to bacterial population growth and calculating future population sizes and timelines for antibiotic treatment.

    Applications of Exponential Functions Population Growth Example: 1. To be discussed in the classroom (example is about bacteria). 2.

    The population in Metro Manila during 2007 is estimated to be 1,660,000. If yearly, the population increases by 5% from the previous year, the population is described by the equation, P = 1660000(1.05)t, where t is the number of years after 2007. Find the population a) on the next 3 years. b) on the year 2012. c) 5 years ago.

    3. A drug is eliminated from the body through urine. The amount of drug (in mg) in the body t hours after it was taken is represented by the equation D = 10(.8)t. a) Find the initial amount of drug. b) Find the amount of drug in the body after 10 hours.

    4. Suppose that a patient was found to have a bacterial infection. At 11:00 AM , the patient was found to have 5000 colonies of the bacteria, which is believed to be growing per hour at a rate of 20% of its previous population. a) How many bacteria are expected in the patients b) If the bacteria is believed to be life-threatening once it reaches body at exactly 7:00 P.M.? a population of 250,000 colonies, what is the latest time that the patient should take antibiotics?

    5. If bacteria inside a patients body is believed to be growing at 40% of its previous population every after 3 hours, and a patient is found to have been infected by the bacteria, with 20,000 colonies, at exactly 1:00 P.M., a) how many colonies of bacteria is expected after b) the doctor recommended that antibiotics should be taken at most, 24 hours? after 12 hours because it is believed to be harmful once it reaches 50,000 colonies. Is the doctors recommendation correct?

    Exponential Decay: = ; F = final amount after a period of t; r is constant (given), k = base amount (initial). e = 2.71828 1. If f(t) grams of a radioactive substance are present after t seconds, then f(t) = ke 0.3t where k is a constant. If 100 grams of the substance are present initially, how much is present after 5 sec?

    2.

    The value of a particular machine t years after its purchase is V(t) = ke 0.20t and k is a constant. If the machine was purchased 8 years ago for $10,000, what is its value now?
